As technology advances, so does the tools marketers have at their disposal. The days of analog marketing are dwindling as faster, more efficient technology comes online. So where does a marketer begin looking?

Marketing Eye Dallas has put together a list of must-have technologies that every marketer should utilize - not only for their sanity but to produce the best content in our mile-a-minute world.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT TOOLS

Project management is key to implementing successful campaigns. Whether you work for an agency with a hundred clients or for a huge corporation that supports one product, it is important to keep yourself organized. In marketing, a client’s needs change on a whim, and it is crucial to have projects laid out in a way where everyone is on the same page.

This one is almost as obvious as project management. It is key for any company to have a complete understanding of their clients, prospects, and leads. A common misconception is that CRMs are used solely for sales. Think of it like this - how would a marketer know whom to target if sales hid the leads from them? CRMs should be a shared tool used by both marketing and sales to organize campaigns and to note where prospects are in the pipeline.

Whether working in B2B or B2C, social media is integral to a company’s marketing strategies. Back in the dark ages, a marketer would have to go from social platform to social platform posting individual content at all hours of the day. Now, with the introduction of social media schedules, so much time and effort can be saved, giving marketers more time to be productive in other areas of their strategies. Plan your whole social schedule on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. in just a few minutes - just be sure to go back and engage with your followers!
